How do you bridge the gap between academic theology and the real-world needs of a diverse, modern congregation? That's the question we're answering with guests Chris Croghan and Sarah Stenson from Luther House of Study, and Dr. Ryan Bredow of Grand Canyon University. Together, we dissect the discrepancies between the academic environment and the real needs of students venturing into the field of ministry. You'll hear about how Luther House of Study is innovating pastoral training by initiating classes in leadership, ethics, pastoral care, Greek, and Hebrew. The bonus? Their unique business model that doesn't charge a penny from their students, but instead, relies solely on generous donors.Our conversation doesn't stop there. We'll be shining the spotlight on the critical role of theological education and how the Unite Leadership Collective (ULC) is forging collaborations with local churches. We're discussing how biblical Lutheran doctrine and innovative leadership development methods are being harnessed to discover, develop, and deploy leaders. Learn about the opportunities the ULC presents and ways to join them in disseminating the gospel message. So buckle up for an enlightening exploration of the intersection between academia and local church contexts and the creative solutions being put forth to navigate it.Additional Conversations with LutherHouse -Conversation With Chris CroghanConversation With Sarah StensonSupport the showJoin the Lead Time Newsletter!
